If now.. a vacuum hose works. A 4ft bamboo taped to the hose will guide it to the necessary pot.

What about something like this. It's battery powered so no pumping. Only holds 2 gal though.

I have a pump up sprayer like that I tried but still had to crawl into the tent. It took a long time to water having to slow the stream down so it wouldn't dig holes and the organic nutes mades such a mess to clean out. I think a piece of pex pipe softened to turn a 90 degree with a funnel might do the trick. If I had it to do all over again I would have gotten a 4 x 8 so I could actually move around and arrange the plants in a easier way to access. I was just hoping someone had made a easier way than what I could come up with. Thanks so much for all the suggestions lots of great ideas!

5 gallon bucket ->cheap submersible pump -> garden hose ->watering wand attachment with built in shut off valve should give you some good reach.

This is what I use. Maybe if you had a watering ring in the pots you could attach a hose to the other end of the valve when you needed to water. You could probably rig up something yourself. I don't know if that makes any sense.

Get 3/8" ID silicone tubing. It will stretch over a 1/2" barb fitting for a sump pump. Then put a ball valve on the other end and stick it through a watering wand without the head. I've tried two different wands and they both worked. It seems the standard is 1/2" ID.
It's so much better in all ways. You can pinch the tubing to slow the flow or fold it over to stop it when you want to move to another plant or whatever. They are a million times less rigid and stay much cleaner inside. The downsides are turning off the ball valve is a little tricky at first, and the tubing can kink easily if you aren't properly managing it.
Here's the tubing I use. I've used it for all sorts of other things and have had to reorder a few rolls now.

Yup took me a while to make this choice but it was the best decision of my life. Just gotta expect a learning curve with environmental changes.

I've noticed that you've humbled out a great deal in the past couple of months. You were really cocky for the longest time. What happened?
